StevenErnest :

So they're essentially drones? Are they as loud... or have muffled sound? it's telling that you gloss over that.

vega :

"a gentle presence" and it's the second most ominous thing I've ever seen next to that helpless oil cleaning exhibit that 💀 a few years ago

⭐️🌌Space/Riv🦌🌲 :

send one out in a rural town

Baelor I Targaryen :

They’re gonna combine these with ai and they’ll kill us

TheLegoDM :

I think I would have used any color except “raw flesh” for the balloon part

cc :

All fun and games until it clamps down on you and carries you away

Sarah :

Um no. These look like terrifying flying blood monsters.

NoxKnight :

right so the fucking goat demon centaur and now this, are we in the early doom universe?????

Z-Gentz007 :

This is the first thing i thought of something straight out of Death Stranding

bucket :

This feels like AI propoganda. We know they are machines but because they *seem* alive they are then perceived as gentle and permissible in our human spaces. It's technology cloaked as biology. It's purposeful that it mimics the form of a jellyfish, an animal without a brain or eyes. This machine cannot think, cannot sense, it cannot do anything except what it is programmed to do.

Jail Master Bill :

I’m fascinated by this. Wow

nor_paw :

I know a Zerg Overlord when I see one

PJPRINTS :

it's a helium balloon with mini fans on it, possibly ultrasonicsonic sensors.

Mr.Draw Everywhere :

That’s a no for me dawg

travis :

High frequency radio waves is sorta an oxymoron but go off

TheDismalWorkshop :

Airheaded Aviator :

Lot of fancy words to say they're robot balloons with proximity sensors 🥀🥀🥀 but who doesn't like balloons?

𓉔𓄿𓏏𓋴𓉔𓅂𓊪𓋴𓅲𓏏 :

That is some sci fi horror stuff right there 😭

Matthew_Lickers :

I really like it but yes, I do they you could’ve toned down how creepy the thing is. It’s got veins for effs sake

Wil :

Maybe we could have chosen a different aesthetic than Daedric jellyfish? Flying flesh sack really puts folks at ease does it?
